And also, how big IS this island, if "Ethan" and Danielle were the only people on it for that many years, and she still couldn't find him?

Oh, speaking of creepy, this episode was directed by Marita Grabiak, another ME alumna.

Have I mentioned how much I love creepy! That was wonderous. Lost devotee GF was not excited at the prospect of a Claire ep, but it was better than either of us anticipated.

I seriously need to rewatch the whole series during the hiatus.

No doubt the physic was driven to get her on the plane, but I am not convinced he knew what would happen. At all.

Loved Sawyer's sunglasses.

You have all my thoughts.

That was a really great episode.

It was so tense that I didn't even notice that there was no Sayid until he showed up at the end!

Which was also great.

I cannot wait 'til next week!

(This week was "Raised by Another" -- which is perfectly clear now and could refer to either Claire's baby or possibly the Other Man -- if he is Alex calling himself Ethan.)

Alex was raised by boars!

If Ethan is Alex and he has been away from mom for a number of years she would think of him as much younger and as whacked as she is perhaps not know him. Or not. Where is my Alex? Where did you come from Ethan? Wanna kidnap the pregnant chick for me?

Alex was raised by boars!

No. He was obviously raised by OMGWTFPOLARBEAR and the invisimechasaurs, silly.

It's up.

And then she loses her shit but good. I thought Snicker Bitch could lose the shit, but man, I hadn't seen anything yet. Emilie de Ravin just goes to town with the shrieking and she starts slapfighting at poor Charlie and gasping and--guess what? There really is blood on her hands OH NOES.

I don't know why, but I find "OH NOES" to be the cutest thing ever.

"There's always some plan, some responsibility, somewhere we have to be!" whines Thomas. Jesus, you numbfuck, it's called adulthood. The guy is late-twenties at the least. Sack up and get a hold of yourself, man! (Wait. I think that came out wrong.)

I was laughing at the well deserved rant, but then there were the dick jokes, so more.

"Are you sure you want to know?" God, when people say that on TV shows, because half the time, characters are like, "You know? I guess I really don't." Apparently on Veronica Mars last night, Veronica had a chance to find out who her real father is (or is not), but she tore up the results rather than read them. WHAT. EVER. Claire is at least sensible enough to be like, "Look, I didn't come all the way down here and pay you $200 just to not know things."

Hee hee hee hee.

"THERE CANNOT BE ANOTHER!" shouts the psychic, like, chill out, Highlander.

Ha ha ha ha ha.

He is also rocking a pair of leopard-print sunglasses with orange lenses (thank God for the pimp smugglers).

Oh, the girl is on tonight.

I love the countrifying of the names.

Hey Jessica, if'n you still want it, I can send you a TiVo tape... I didn't delete it, and owe tape karma from dcp giving me "Solitary" last week.
